Pre-Arrangements

We plan for our weddings, college tuitions, the purchasing of homes, family vacations and many other important expenses. Paying for our own demise in advance of need may also be a sound decision and investment. When you pre-plan your funeral, you are in control of all the details. A funeral is an extremely personal event, and pre-planning allows you to make choices that reflect your personality, lifestyle, interests and budget. It also prevents any possible disagreements among those you leave behind over decisions concerning choosing end-of-life products, services and facilities or how much money to spend on your final arrangements. We keep your plans on file and we guarantee that all your wishes will be fulfilled to the letter when the time of need arrives.

Pre-funding your funeral and cremation shields you from the rising cost of goods and services that results from inflation. Also, it prevents the expenses of your funeral from becoming the responsibility of your loved ones. They will appreciate this final gift of love to them while they are dealing with the shock and grief stemming from your demise.

Daniel Simone has been providing funeral services for almost 40 years and has established a fine reputation in his community. You can feel secure in leaving your pre-funding monies in his care. Once available, your pre-paid money will only be used to provide for the funeral merchandise, services and facilities that you have chosen. Your investment will be placed with the New Jersey Prepaid Funeral Trust Fund, also known as Choices. This is a trust fund that earns interest, remains in your name until death and is administered by the New Jersey State Funeral Directors Association (NJSFDA). You may add to, cut back on, cancel or transfer your pre-arrangements at any time if you enter into a revocable agreement with us.

We understand that you may have a hectic life that leaves little time for pre-planning. We therefore provide you with three easy methods to begin your pre-arrangements. You may call us at any time to discuss pre-planning options. You may also visit us at our funeral home at a time of your choosing to engage in a confidential conference where we talk about your funeral choices, costs, benefits you may be entitled to and payment options. Lastly, you may utilize our Online Pre-Arrangements Form to initiate the process of planning and we would be honored to meet with you to discuss your plans in greater detail. The form is available below and you may enter the information you feel comfortable sending us from the privacy of your home. We thank you for your kind consideration when choosing a funeral home to set up your pre-arrangements.
